- Episode 2 of "Amazon KDP: How the Game is Played"
In this video I talk about the skills you need to reach six- or seven-figure income from self-publishing on Amazon KDP.
Social media is rife with "secrets", "hacks" and other hooha that we all secretly hope will work, but never seems to. That's because they don't exist, they're all marketing words. The only "cheat code" is to learn the skills you need to get the dream life you want. This video explains the skills you need to win at Amazon KDP. Nothing more, nothing less.
Learn these skills, and you'll be the Michael Jordan of KDP.

Good Video
Too many people jumping into this business looking for microwave type ROI
Build a Brand (Brands), Focus on Quality 1st and Quantity 2nd, Leverage Social Media - this last part is becoming more and more a requirement
definitely. Thanks for the comment!
Skill will always be more unpopular than tricks, secrets. Skill takes hard work, time, effort, and your success is earned. Tricks and secrets is the easy path to success and one is hoping to make money without having to earn it. Skill is a tough sale when so many people don't want to work hard or pay the price for success.
there's so much hype on youtube and other social media, it's hard not to fall for the promise of easy hacks. But that's a good thing too, because there are fewer of us who develop skills and therefore less real competition,.
I have seen your videos lately and I must say it's theost inspiring out there. I just decided to start kdp less than 2 weeks now and I have successfully convinced myself I want to do it full time by publishing an average of a low income book per day since I started. I have 10 books currently published with mo sales of course. However, I notice you just started youtube and there is definitely a plan for you to introduce a course sometime soon. Before that time, I'd like to ask to be your protege on your course creation journey. I'd like to be your lab rat 🙏...I can't afford to subscribe to the courses on offer by other people I have seen that are doing well but I willing to commit to the process
thanks for reaching out. When I started I had similar thoughts. They key is to learn the skills and that takes time. I'll be posting more content over the next weeks, hopefully it can help you on your journey. Feel free to book a meeting with me, I'd be happy to look at your books and give you some feedback 👍
Great video! Can you expand on Market Research and understanding the customer's needs? Do you recommend publishing in just one niche?
thanks, hope it helps! I will cover market research very soon. The advantage of choosing one niche is that your marketing, book production and brand building become more efficient. But first you need to get some traction, so you need to test niches and find what works for you. I've published in multiple niches, but one of them really stood out and made me over 80% of my income.
